General/Other - Kung Lao Kung Lao's Meter GAIN Glitch Discussion

[Big Pampering]

No, it benefits the KL player any time he has a bar of meter and gets knocked down.

You act like breaking combos is bad. It's not. If KL has a bar of meter, getting knocked down is in his favor.

If I were KL at combo breaker, I'd always hold on to a bar of meter just in case.

It doesn't benefit the player because it is not a good option for them to go for. You're really exaggerating now, getting knocked down is not in his favor and having to break leaves you without stamina for 8 seconds and buzzsaw lao really needs stamina at all times pretty much to initiate offense. No half decent kung lao player will revolve his game around this. Especially if you play buzzsaw you don't want to waste that meter. I assure you anyone who would lose to a lao player who revolves his game around this would lose even worse to a lao player who actually knows how to play the character instead of relying on a gimmick.

If you know you'll get a free bar for that you'll be a fool if you won't. Come on guys, a character was banned for having one broken move, but another one will not for having a bunch? Feeling bad for Lao players, but colt better hurry up with a hotfix option for random bar gaining.

Just ban the move. Easy. You can't nut punch in basketball and if you do you're ejected. Apply same logic to this. You can't prevent every Lao main from playing in this tourney, Ermac's glitch was variation specific and much easier to execute. Lao never uses wakeup tele or hat toss anyway

 

[Prinz]

Do you play lao? Why in the world would anyone wakeup with anything except spin?

FOR A FREE FREAKING BAR OF METER! Even if his wake-up was a lambada dance I would for a bar of meter.

 

[Drew9795]

Lol does Lao get meter from any other wakeups?

I went to test it myself,it only works with hat toss and teleport.

 

[Leone Phelps]

"Teleport on wakeup isn't viable and you will always eat a 30% combo doing it"

What about if you have an air to air trade and you tech roll wake up tele and they don't tech roll? That's a free meter for you into your tele followup free. Potentially leading into a combo or better stage position. Not cool at all

There are obviously situations where wake up tele is an option. Ignoring that is just ignorant

Well, dude, now he has a reason to do it. And Ermac's was easier to ban to be honest.

 

[KoldSpecter]

Free meter for Hat Toss only in Tempest and Hat Trick, tested it now. Upload video soon.

 

[ericscissorkick]

Because sand toss works as intended and doesn't give you a free bar of meter.

What im saying its one of kunglaos significant mixups. Its like taking away errons sand toss in outlaw

If youre getting mixed up from a wakeup tele youre not mashing d1 fast enough. His tele is as easy to read as Jason's

What's better, eating 40% or no stamina for 8 seconds?

You're missing the point.

So Spectral Ermac and Master of Souls need to be banned from Tournaments for their "glitches" but Kung Lao can let it rock with one available in all 3 ? Seriously people

 

[Prinz]

Btw, shout outs to the testers.

Talking about DQing people for using the glitch, the hell is wrong with all of you guys Christ.

The way the glitches are activated are completely different. Lord this is why you don't leave things like this up to the greater community. Y'all woulda been having us play RCless CVS2 or VSAV without Renda Cancels or 3S without Urien & Oro Unblockables.

 

[Tigerbang]

so have Kung Lao players been doing this the whole time?

 

[Afro_physicist]

You're missing the point.

Its gonna be unfair to every person with a Lao main or pocket Lao. The entire character shouldn't be banned, that takes away a lot of good competition. If you ban the move then that'll be the best solution. If Lao is completely banned, expect to see a lot more Kung Jins

 

[Dope Dojo]

Also, wasn't Jason banned because no one knows if he has bugs or glitches yet? But Kung Lao is okay? Lol

Then just ban wakeup tele and hat toss

What's better is to not teleport and not eat the 40% punish at all. It is better to block or just use ex spin, it is bad to assume you're going to guess wrong from the beginning. You're playing the wrong guessing game.

It does give him an extra option, but to say you're going to keep a bar at hand everytime just to go for the teleport is kinda ridiculous. A good lao player will burn his bar if he sees an opportunity to get damage with the ex spin. But you guys can ban him until it's fixed if you think it's a problem I just don't agree with the reasoning.

 

[Red King]

Sorry but how the fuck does something like this get through testing? I feel terrible for people heading to that tournament who play Kung Lao, but I reckon he should be banned to give NRS the rosy cheeks they deserve for this one.

 

[Big Pampering]

Then just ban wakeup tele and hat toss

Wait what? hat toss?

 

[MadeFromMetal]

CVS2 might have been a good game then.

 

[Chaosphere]

Yeah hat toss does the same thing. If you get knocked full screen... wakeup hat toss thx for the meter lol

Dude, if you're down, with one bar and little life, wake-up tele, gain bar, break offense, be safe.
